Chandrachud met Justice S.A. Bobde who is heading a committee inquiring into the sexual harassment allegations against the Chief Justice of India Ranjan Gogoi. A statement from the apex court said “this is wholly incorrect” that the two judges met Justice Bobde on Friday evening. Furthermore, the statement said that the in-house committee which is probing the issue concerning the CJI deliberates on its own without any input from any other judge of the apex court. The newspaper has stated that Justices Nariman and Chandrachud suggested the appointment of an advocate as an amicus curie for assisting the in-house committee. Besides Justice Bobde, other members in the committee are two women judges of the apex court — Justices Indu Malhotra and Indira Banerjee.
